Validate XML against XSD located in a web

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ACO 350

I have an XML file that points to its XSD located on a web server.

 

<order xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://something.somewhere.com>

 

In AXv3, validation was simple -- xmlDoc = XMLDocument::newXML(xml, true, true)

 

Although XMLDocument::newXML in AX 2009 still has a parameter for validation, it does not appear to work. No error, no warning, nothing when I step on some values.

 

What is the trick in AX 2009 for validating XML against an XSD housed in a web when the XSD is referenced in the XML?

    Not quite what I was looking for.  I ended up pulling the expected attribute (xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation) from the XML and using XMLSchema.sourceUri() to retrieve it:

     

    xmlReader.moveToAttribute2("xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation");
    tempStr = xmlReader.value();
    if (tempStr)
        xmlSchema.sourceUri(tempStr);

     

    Still running into trouble though. I have verified that xmlSchema contains the schema using:

     

    tempStr = xmlSchema.writeToString();

     

    But when I call:

     

    validationError = xmlReader.validate(xmlSchema.writeToString());

     

    I constantly get the error: "The 'myroot' element is not declared." where 'myroot' is the name of the outermost element in the XML.

     

    Any ideas on how to resolve or at least debug this?

    I'm afraid  in AX 2009 to validate an XML file against its XSD you'll have to load the schema by yourself. You can use XmlReader to validate an XML file - see \Classes\AifRequestProcessor\validateParameterSchema for an example:

    
XmlTextReader xmlReader = XmlTextReader::newXml(xmlText);
XmlSchemaValidationError xmlError = xmlReader.validate(xsdText);
if (xmlError) // ...
